[@sherodwilliams2375]

It’s easy, go on Wikipedia. Look at her movies and box office results, then look at Melissa’s box office results. Not in the same neighborhood. Also, Tammy Melissa and her husband created that from their own production company and was the first time they did something like that. The profit was 80 million, maybe if she had a more productive husband. Not everyone is made to be a manager, the way he talks I can’t imagine him successful in this arena without being propped up by his wife.

Wouldn't you be confrontational if someone lied on you and spread false rumors about you to stop your income?. If I was her husband and manager I'd be defending my wife and her honor as well.

It would seem like most have been done wrong in Hollywood AND have also been able to move past it and create their own opportunities like Melissa McCarthy. Here is it 15 years later and Mo is still here wearing her challenges on her sleeve. At what point is the person in the mirror at least partially responsible? Also the absolute ultimate truth is if we don’t take full responsibility for our lives, we have no power to change them.

No she's not

How do you handpick me but mistreat me Monique speaking facts💯

[@1983jcheat]

The difference between Mo and MM is that Mo didn't have a famous cousin. MM's cousin playmate Jenny Mccarthy who got her cameos early on. Jenny was branching into comedy in the late 90s early 2000s.

She needs her own show for sure!!

[@reecesharp1]

Hard for me to believe that Mo'Nique is in no way responsible for her own career struggles. I hate that she was blackballed, but I'm afraid this issue with Tyler Perry and Oprah has come to define her. The convo associated with her should be about how talented she is, not how angry. Sad situation...

I love Unc but this podcast is turning into a place where people just come and sling mud. I understand that’s part of it, but I’d like some more positivity.

[@ogechiosuji1627]

No. He is just allowing people to freely share, not trying to limit what they can say to make sure not to "hurt relationships". After all, he is inviting those they speak about to come and tell their side of the story. I don't get what's wrong with that.

[@christopherwilliams2351]

@@ogechiosuji1627 i don't think profiting off of people's grievances is cool. Unc is great and appears to be one of the realest dudes on tv but other than ratings who or what does all this beefing help?

[@ogechiosuji1627]

@christopherwilliams2351 Well, I guess we see it differently. These people clearly have something to get off their chest and giving them a safe platform to do that, while still holding out an opportunity for even the people they are talking about to come and respond, if they choose to; I don't think there is anything wrong with that. It's one thing if they were just up here lying on people, but they are just sharing their experiences; I think we all have a right to do that, through whatever media we choose, in a respectful and dignified manner, as much as possible.

Too late…

[@beautifullyblessed9868]

God give justice to Mo'Nique & Countess. And in every wrong that was done to her 🙏🏼 Recompense

[@fairassesment]

“We don’t need to hire no lawyers” ……which means she isn’t willing to put money into her claims just like she wasn’t willing to invest in herself. But she will beg and complain. Hire me, apologize and hire me. How TF does that sound? When has that ever worked in the history of Hollywood? “Yeah Monique, sorry for not hiring you, we have a role where you are the first lack woman president, see you on set”

[@Kynslees_KhloesWorld]

Mo is a legend

[@chrishubbell3313]

Melissa & others don’t have the…ATTITUDE…”YOU” have. Mo’Nique is by far her own worst enemy. I feel bad for her, she is/could be a great actress, she needs to read, “Everything I Needed To Learn I Learned In Kindergarten”, it would do her wonders. She has no clue what “Humble” means.🧐🙏🏾✊🏾

[@DirtySouthMVP]

Exactly 💯💯💯

[@cald4aprps628]

How do you know what goes on behind the scenes? Once people are retired, all kinds of horror stories come out about celebs in biographies and movies that didn’t seem to stop them from working in real time. I don't see a lack of humility from Mo. She's just not going to let people walk all over her.

When you don’t negotiate a deal where you have a percentage of ownership rights you get paid as an employee for the services rendered PERIOD.

[@calikeisha365]

It seems like many of our people have not fully understood this concept, or they wouldn’t be in the comments arguing on behalf of Monique. And I’m not sure why that’s the case most of us are not business owners, we are employees and know we’re hired at will!

[@astroprotector]

she is wrong. Melissa appeals to mainstream America, Monique does not; she instead appeals to blacks, a minority population. Monique needs to humble herself and stay in her lane. She does not have crossover into mainstream appeal

[@Triciepop]

I totally agree with her as well

[@DarthPlaya]

Wah wah wah 😢Mo' always be cryin'. She's given up on acting and stand-up to concentrate on her new career as a professional complainer. Speak your truth once or twice then either do something about it or get out of the business. People are getting tired of the "Everybody be doing me wrong" song she's been singing for years now. Move forward sister.

[@Dolph_225TTV]

I love Mo 😂

[@lokisfriend]

Melissa has not made a career of talking out of turn & dogging people, that's the difference. Monique has only been the kinder, gentler Monique since she got humbled a few years ago. Don't get me wrong, I like her and Melissa, not so much but there are costs and consequences.

​@@styner3There were other comedians in bridesmaids. Unless Melissa McCarthy weird her own jokes or does stand up, this is a bitter comparison. And unless all Monique's standup didn't sell well, one show in Atlanta doesn't count.

@@90ejb Melisssa's career started with stand-up comedy in Los Angeles, and later in New York City. The Atlanta show was in 2022, with all Mo's talk about being blackballed people didn't come because she's just not funny. Her Netflix special she cried about until they gave her one will put you to sleep. I liked "The Parkers" but that's it.

⁠​⁠@@styner3but let’s be real MANY people did NOT go watch that movie on premiere night because of or for Melissa McCarthy. Only AFTER its debut and her performance was talked about THEN she helped sell the movie. People went to watch it for Kristen and Maya. Mo has an Oscar for a role that isn’t even comedy. MM has none. To insinuate she isnt equal to or less talented than MM is a bit wild.

​@@nazofloveI agree that Amy Schumer is not funny but boy does she have the support or had the support as she doesn't seem to be doing well these days.
